Hello, I am trying to reset my Internet Explorer to defaults. However the advanced tab is missing.

I tried going to regedit HKCU \Software \Policies \Microsoft \Internet Explorer \Control Panel and then deleted the value for Advanced Tab after putting a "0" as a value didn't help.

Then I tried hxxp://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/reg/Advanced_blank.reg -- that also did not help.

I think I might have malware???

So here's my HJT log... forgive me if I didn't do something right in terms of posting etiquette.

Hello, Welcome to BleepingComputer.
I'm nasdaq and will be helping you.

If you can please print this topic it will make it easier for you to follow the instructions and complete all of the necessary steps.

[*]You are running HijackThis from your Downloads folder. This means that when you use it for fixing, your system folder will be littered with its backups. Please create a new folder for HijackThis and move the program into it.

[*]Close all programs leaving only HijackThis running. Place a check against each of the following, making sure you get them all and not any others by mistake:

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.startsearcher.com
O2 - BHO: MyWebSearch Search Assistant BHO - {00A6FAF1-072E-44cf-8957-5838F569A31D} - C:\Program Files (x86)\MyWebSearch\bar\1.bin\MWSSRCAS.DLL (file missing)
O2 - BHO: mwsBar BHO - {07B18EA1-A523-4961-B6BB-170DE4475CCA} - C:\Program Files (x86)\MyWebSearch\bar\1.bin\MWSBAR.DLL (file missing)
O2 - BHO: StartNow Toolbar Helper - {6E13D095-45C3-4271-9475-F3B48227DD9F} - C:\Program Files (x86)\StartNow Toolbar\Toolbar32.dll

O3 - Toolbar: StartNow Toolbar - {5911488E-9D1E-40ec-8CBB-06B231CC153F} - C:\Program Files (x86)\StartNow Toolbar\Toolbar32.dll

<-- If these O6 items were set by a LAN Administrator do not fix them, ask him/her first. Fixing these 06 items will reset your Control Panel Menu options.
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions present
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present

Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.

Delete these folders in bold.

C:\Program Files (x86)\MyWebSearch\

Download DDS and save it to your desktop from here or here.
Disable any script blocker, and then double click dds.scr to run the tool.

  • Save both reports to your desktop.


Please just paste the contents of the DDS.txt log in your next post.

Please post the logs and let me know what problem persists.
